Project Simmer Down CYOA Part 6 [Complete]

> Be Brad
> You park your car and make your way towards Sunset.
> Even though you're feeling a little sick from one too many smoothies.
> Call out to Sunset.
> Hey sweet thing, where are you off to in such a hurry?"
> She turns and sneers.
"Fuck off Brad."
> "Come on Sunny, you still aren't mad that we broke up, right?"
> You wrap your arms around her and pull her to you.
> "One rut, is all I'm asking."

> Be Nolan
> You're feeling content.
> But you still feel like you need to do more for Vinyl.
> Sitting up, you take hold of your scarf, searching for the fleur-de-lis.
"What are you doing Nolan?"
> "Just give me a sec,"
> You take the pin and stare at it.
> Taking deep breath, you hold it out to her.
> "I want you to have it."
"But that's!!"
> "Yeah, I know. It means a lot to me. Which is why I want you to keep it."
> You take her hand and drop the pin on it.
> "As a sign that we'll be together forever."

> Be Sunset
> Brad is putting the moves on you.
"One rut, is all I'm asking."
> The fuck?
> Pull away from him and slap his face.
> "I said. Fuck. Off."
> Walk out, like you should have done when you were together with him.
> Damn him for dumping you first.
> 'After I take down Nolan, you're next Brad.' you think.

> Be Trixie
> You've been staring at your hand for a while now ever since Nolan left.
> Partners, huh?
> You stretch and go back inside the school. Only one class left.
> Bell rings and you brace yourself for the human flood.
> Lo and behold, you get swept away and find yourself bumping into Snails.
> The collision makes you both fall.
"I'm sorry Trixie!"
> He scurries to get up and helps you up on to your feet.
"What happened?"
> "I'm teaming up with North to take down Shimmer."

> Be Snails
"I'm teaming up with North to take down Shimmer."
> Did your ears just deceive you?
> "You...and Nolan?"
"Yes, he's agreed to meet me before tonight's duel."
> Holy shit, it's actually happening.
> Hopefully now you can be free of Sunset and get the old trio back together.
> "I see."
> Come on you pussy, tell her!
> "I hope you win."
"Of course I'll win, I'm the Great and Powerful Trixie!"
> Yes, she's the greatest ever, no doubt about that.

> Be Brad
> Did she seriously just refuse?
> The word 'no' does not exist in the Bradical dictionary.
> "Oh c'mon Sunset, don't deny it. You know you want my bradical D."
> She wheels around and slaps you hard.
> You wince, your cheek throbbing from the blow.
"Sunset Shimmer!"
> The color drains from her face.
> VP Luna is standing near the entrance, arms crossed.
> She looks mad.
"My office. Now."


> Be Sunset Shimmer
> Grunt in frustration
> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn713TcCgWA
> You stomp after VP Luna and follow her to her office.
> Upon entering, you plop down in on of the chairs, crossing your legs angrily.
"I'm surprised to find you of all our students raising their hand against another."
> She sits at behind the desk, lacing her fingers together.
"And this isn't the first time today I have heard about you striking another student."
> "But-!"
"So I have decided to suspend you until next Monday. Is that understood?"
> Grit your teeth and stiffly nod.
> "Yes...ma'am."

> Be Brad
> You're not feeling too hot right now.
> Lean against the wall for support.
> You need to find a place to sit down and rest without getting caught.
> Where to go...

> Be Brad
> The bleachers sounds like a good idea.
> You walk towards the soccer field
> The students are already heading inside their respective locker rooms.
> Guess class is almost over.
> You slip by unnoticed, ducking the rafters so as not hit your head.
"-together forever."
> Someone else is here.
> Nolan and Vinyl.
> "Hope I'm not interrupting anything."

> Be Iron Will
> You watch the students file back inside.
> Look at the ball rack.
> One soccer ball is missing.
> Roll your eyes and figure it must have been the one Rainbow Dash kicked towards the bleachers.
> Grumbling, you make your way over and notice someone standing there.
> All these fucking students playing hooky lately.
> "WHAT ARE YOU MAGGOTS DOING OVER THERE?!"

> Be Nolan
"Hope I'm not interrupting anything."
> Fucking Brad.
> He's standing over there, peering down at you guys, but he hasn't moved.
> "No."
"No." Vinyl says at the same time.
"WHAT ARE YOU MAGGOTS DOING OVER THERE?"
> You all freeze.
> Nice going, Brad.
> Way to get us all caught.

> Be Sunset
> "Stupid school, stupid humans, I hope you all burn in Tartarus."
> "This is all Trixie and Norman's fault!"
> Be Brad
> Your stomach is acting up
> Definitely not bradical.
> You dry heave once and then proceed to empty your stomach's content all over Iron Will.
"Oh god."
> Nolan rushes to your rescue.
"Sir, I'm taking him to the nurse."

> Be Sunset
> Hear last bell ring.
> You have a long ass weekend ahead of you.
> Decide to track down Norman.
> Trixie you'll be dealing with later.
> You find him drinking water out of a fountain.
> Perfect.
> You shove his face against the water and laugh when he turns to face you, his face dripping with water.
"Gah!"
> "It's your fault I got suspended."
"Huh...? Hey! I stopped that fight for your own good!" he looks angry.
> He takes a step towards you, wiping his face with his jacket sleeve.
"And it's your fault I also got in trouble! I have enough problems with people calling me a racist, I don't need to add more crap to that."
> Oh. You don't know what to say to that.
"Anyway, it wasn't my fault. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go home."
> You make no move to stop him.
> Feel tears threatening to spill.
> Today has been bad, you've been wrong the entire day and nothing has gone right.
> First Nolan is not lying about being with Vinyl, and even though you acquired the pin, it got lost, you had a meaningless catfight with Trixie, you got caught slapping Brad and got suspended for it, and now this.
> Sinking to your knees, the tears fall to the ground.
> "Why me?"

> Be Norman
> You hear sniffling behind you.
> Oh no.
> You made Sunset Shimmer cry.
> A normal person would have left her to her own devices.
> But you're Norman, and you can't leave her like this.
> Walk back and kneel down in front of her.
> Softly grip her shoulders and slip your hand on her cheeks, wiping a tear away with your thumb.
> "It's ok, Sunset. Don't cry. Please?"

> Be Nolan
> Why the fuck did you decide to do this?
> It was a good idea at the time to escape Iron Will, but now...
> Well Brad is feeling better.
> Apparently he had too many smoothies.
> Classes are over for now and you'll need to meet Trixie before her showdown with Shimmer tonight.
> You look down a hall and see Norman kneeling down in front of someone.
> You see a familiar mane of red/yellow hair.
> Is Norman being nice to Shimmer?
> What? How...when?!
"Oh it's Norman!"
> For the love of God Brad, why do you always do this?

> Be Nolan
> Quickly drag Brad behind the closest set of lockers and asses the situation.
> There must be something more going on if Norman is helping Sunset.
> Damn it, still too far away to hear what they're saying
> Doesn't seem like it's hostile, since Shimmer isn't smacking Norman.
> There is a considerable amount of water on the floor though.

> Be Brad
> Wondering what's going on.
> One second you're being led into the school and now you're being shoved against a locker.
> "Didn't know you swing that way, Nols."
"I don't, just shush."
> Wow, so serious.
> Squeeze between him and the locker to see what Norman is doing.
> Talking to Sunset.
> Wow.
> Even though more than half the school considers him racist, he sure is popular with the ladies.
> You're so proud of him.

> Be Sunset
> Norman has wiped away your tears.
> He's being...nice to you. Even though you've hit him and just shoved his face into the fountain.
> "Why you?"
"Hm? I can't allow myself to walk away from a girl in tears. That's against my code."
> Code?
> What is he, a boy scout?
> Stand up and dust yourself off.
> "Whatever, this doesn't change the situation at hoof."
"Hoof? Have you been talking to Purple?"
> "Hand! Hand!"
> Shove past him, you need to go home and prepare yourself for tonight's duel with Trixie.
> Notice Brad trying to not be noticed.
> What is he doing here?

> Be Sunset
> Walk towards Brad and notice Nolan with him.
> Say nothing and leave.
> You have other more important things to do.
> Once you exit the school, you notice Dubstep sitting by herself on the steps, headset plugged in and headbanging her head to the beat.
> Weirdo.
> Ignore her and leave.

> Be Nolan again
> As sson as Shimmer leaves, you go towards Norman.
> "What was that?"
> Norman looks a little uncomfortable.
> "And why are you all wet?"
"Thing is that Sunset kind of shoved me into the fountain."
> "And then what?"
> If she shoved him into the fountain, why the sudden...
"I think I made her cry."
> Oh. Norman, you're too pure for this world.

> You pat Norman's back.
> Such a good guy, such a bro.
> "You're such a gentleman, dude."
"Yeah, so Bradical."
> You and Norman cringe at the word.
> Never mind that, school is over, you have someone to find.
> "Anywho, we have to find Trixie. Her duel will be soon and we best be prepared." for the coup of the century
> The two young men nod and follow you deeper in the bowels of the school.

> Be Trixie
> Almost time to look for Nolan.
> You place the last of your books in your backpack and leave the classroom.
> You need to stop by your locker first though.
